We studied indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) film grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as transparent conductive oxide (TCO). A variety of TCO layer, such as ZnO:Al (AZO), InSnO2(ITO), Zn (O,S) etc, has been grown by various method, such as ALD, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sputtering, laser ablation, sol-gel technique, etc. Among many deposition methods, ALD has various advantages such as uniformity of film thickness, film composition, conformality, and low temperature deposition, as compared with other techniques. In this study, we deposited indium-doped zinc oxide thin films using diethyl[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]indium [Et2InN(TMS)2] as indium precursor, DEZn as zinc precursor and H2O as oxidant for ALD and investigated the optical and electrical properties of IZO films. As an alternative, this liquid In precursor would has several advantages in indium oxide thin-film processes by ALD, especially for low resistance indium oxide thin film and high deposition rate as compared to InCp, InCl3, TMIn precursors etc. We found out that Indium oxide films grown by Et2InN(TMS)2 and H2O precursor show ALD growth mode and ALD growth window. We also found out the different growth rate of Indium oxide as the substrate and investigated the effect of the substrate on Indium oxide growth.

We have fabricated transparent and flexible thin film transistor(TFT) on polyethylene terephthalate(PET) substrate using Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film as active layer and electrode. The transfer printing method was used for printing the device layer on target plastic substrate at room temperature. This approach have an advantage to separate the high temperature annealing process to improve the electrical properties of ZnO TFT from the device process on plastic substrate. The resulting devices on plastic substrate presented mechanical and electrical properties similar with those on rigid substrate.

In the process of inkjet-printed zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor, the effect of metallic interlayer underneath of source and drain electrode was investigated. The reason for the improved electrical properties with thin molybdenum oxide ($MoO_3$) layer was due to the chemically intermixed state of metallic interlayer, aluminum source and drain, and oxide semiconductor together. The atomic configuration of three Mo $3d_3$ and $3d_5$ doublets, three different Al 2p core levels, two Sn $3d_5$, and four different types of oxygen O 1s in the interfaces among those layers was confirmed by X-ray photospectroscopy.

Solution processed zinc tin oxide (ZTO) thin films were studied using a spin coating for the fabrication of thin film transistors and simple circuits. The solution processed thin film transistors (W/L = 100/10 ${\mu}m$) have the average saturation mobility of 1.9 $cm^2$/Vs, threshold voltage of 20 V, and subthreshold slope of 0.5 V/decade. The dc characteristics of an inverter with $W_{load}=100\;{\mu}m$ and $W_{drive}=10\;{\mu}m$, measured under votage supply of $V_{DD}$ = +50 V. The inverter beta ratio is 20 ($R=(W_{drived}/L_{drive})/(W_{load}/L_{load})=20$) and $gain_{max}$ is 2. The characteristics of an oscillator were measured under voltage supply of $V_{DD}$ = +60 V.

For a wider application of laser direct patterning, selective laser ablation of indium tin oxide (ITO) film on transparent oxide semiconductor (TOS) thin film was carried out using a diode-pumped Q-switched Nd:YVO₄ laser at a wavelength of 1064 nm. In case of the laser ablation of ITO on indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) film, both of ITO and IGZO films were fully etched for all the conditions of the laser beams even though IGZO monolayer was not ablated at the same laser beam condition. On the contrary, in case of the laser ablation of ITO on zinc oxide (ZnO) film, it was possible to etch ITO selectively with a slight damage on ZnO layer. The selective laser ablation is expected to be due to the different coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between ITO and ZnO.

Mg-doped zinc tin oxide (ZTO:Mg) thin films were prepared on glasses by rf magnetron sputtering. $O_2$ was introduced into the chamber during the sputtering. The optical properties of the films as a function of oxygen flow rate were studied. The crystal structure, elementary properties, and depth profiles of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), respectively. Bottom-gate transparent thin film transistors were fabricated on $N^+$ Si wafers, and the variation of mobility, threshold voltage etc. with the oxygen flow rate were observed.

A significant progress has been made in the characterization of zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconductor as a new semiconductor layer instead of amorphous Si semiconductor used in thin film transistor due to its high electron mobility at low deposition temperature which is quite suitable for flexible display and OLED devices. The wet pattering of ZnO is another important issue with regard to mass production of ZnO thin film transistor device. However, the wet behavior of ZnO thin film in aqueous wet etching solutions conventionally used un TFT industry has not been reported yet, in this work, wet corrosion behavior of RF magnetron sputtered ZnO thin film in various wet solutions such as phosphoric and nitric acid solutions was studied using by electrochemical analysis. The effects of deposition parameters such as RF power and oxygen partial pressure on corrosion rate are also examined.

We fabricate the conductive zinc oxide(ZnO) thin film using UV-enhanced atomic layer deposition. ZnO is semiconductor with a wide band gap(3.37eV) and transparent in the visible region. ZnO can be deposited with various method, such as metal organic chemical vapour deposition, magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser ablation deposition. In this experiment, ZnO thin films was deposited by atomic layer deposition using diethylzinc (DEZ) and D.I water as precursors with UV irradiation during water dosing. As a function of UV exposure time, the resistivity of ZnO thin films decreased dramatically. We were able to confirm that UV irradiation is one of the effective way to improve conductivity of ZnO thin film. The resistivity was investigated by 4 point probe. Additionally, we confirm the thin film composition is ZnO by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We anticipate that this UV-enhanced ZnO thin film can be applied to electronics or photonic devices as transparent electrode.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) bottom-contact thin-film transistors (TFTs) were prepared by the use of injector type atomic layer deposition. Two hybrid gate oxide systems of different polarity polymers with silicon oxide were examined with the aim of improving the properties of the transistors. The mobility and threshold voltage of a ZnO TFT with a poly(4-dimethylsilyl styrene) (Si-PS)/silicon oxide hybrid gate dielectric had values of 0.41 $cm^2/Vs$ and 24.4 V, and for polyimide/silicon oxide these values were 0.41 $cm^2/Vs$ and 24.4 V, respectively. The good hysteresis property was obtained with the dielectric of hydrophobicity. The solid output saturation behavior of ZnO TFTs was demonstrated with a $10^6$ on-off ratio.
